[Wactclc-primo] publishing to Google Scholar through vendors other than ExLibris

[Jennifer Rohan]

Hello All,

Like many other colleges, in Alma we have a Google Scholar publishing profile<https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/090Integrations_with_External_Systems/030Resource_Management/150Publishing_Electronic_Holdings_to_Google_Scholar> that makes Green River College’s electronic articles discoverable through Google Scholar.

Have other colleges have made separate agreements with individual database vendors (such as EBSCO, Proquest or even smaller vendors, …etc.) to have separate OpenURL link resolvers<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscholar.google.com%2Fintl%2Fen%2Fscholar%2Flibraries.html&data=04%7C01%7Cjrohan%40greenriver.edu%7C30de9ed4d7554467873b08d9d60be28b%7Cfa40663e972749789bce776cf824bca5%7C0%7C1%7C637776168805498016%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=iyt2nxucbfEjyNuxsJA4PlkzkJrydwJDhMtbnTjy8GY%3D&reserved=0> that accomplish what the Alma Google Scholar Publishing job does?  In other words, have other colleges asked a database vendor to make a separate agreement with Google Scholar to harvest data specifically from that vendor in addition to going through the Alma link resolver?

I ask because we are investigating whether we would have more “ViewIt at GreenRiver” hits in Google Scholar if we had more/better metadata shared with Google Scholar from individual vendors in addition to the metadata already shared by ExLibris.

Thank you for any insight you can provide… 😊
